Lydia G. Cisneros was born on August 3, 1939 in Kyle,TX, and passed away on March 5, 2023 at the age of 83 years old. Lydia was the daughter of Pabla D. Gonzales and Mauricio Gonzales.

Lydia was a lifelong resident of Kyle. She retired with 30 years of service from the University of Texas at Austin. Once retired she embraced the life of being a grandma. She opened her home to her grandchildren and great grandchildren which we fondly referred to as "Grandma's Daycare".

She enjoyed spending time with family, having numerous celebrations and gatherings at her home with open arms. The family reflects: "It wasn't a Holiday unless we were at Grandma's House". Grandma would say, "Right or wrong, good or bad family is family and I love you all. No matter what I will always love and be there for you". Lydia will be remembered as a strong independent woman, wearing many hats and having a big heart. She was loved by her extended family, being referred to as Tia Lile. One of her favorite past times was playing guitar and singing with her sister Gloria and brother-in-law Juan Mosqueda (deceased) and family.

Her generosity extended outside her family, where she was a dedicated parishioner at St. Anthony Marie de Claret Catholic Church in Kyle. She enjoyed serving alongside her sisters Apostolate of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which supports the mission of the church through fundraising, filling many capacities in the organization. Lydia volunteered in many other organizations such as, providing communion for the Sick and Home Bound Ministry to the local assisted living facilities, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Rosary Making Guild, Funeral Meal Group and Devocion a la Sangre Precioso de Jesus Cristo. In addition, she volunteered with the Kyle Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.
